Watch Now! Feminist Icon Letty Cottin Pogrebin, Author of "Shanda"

"As a feminist, I looked at the things that hurt us, the things that hobble us, and I wanted to get rid of them," says Letty Cottin Pogrebin, feminist icon, activist, Hadassah life member and one of the founders of Ms. Magazine, speaking about how important speaking out about negative experiences can be a way to help normalize them.

In this special One Book, One Hadassah interview, Hadassah Magazine Executive Editor Lisa Hostein interviews Pogrebin about Shanda: A Memoir of Shame and Secrecy. In her intimate new memoir, Pogrebin reflects on the fear of shame and stigma that indelibly marked her upbringing in an immigrant Jewish family in Queens, NY.
